Memories rekindled.

Exactly 10 years ago today – March 30, 2015 – my friend Kristinn Ingi and I found ourselves snowbound on the remote Strandir coast in the Westfjords of Iceland. A fierce storm had rendered the only road out impassable.

Salvation came by air: an Eagle Air flight was due from Reykjavík, bringing supplies for the isolated village. I hitched a ride back as the sole passenger – effectively a private charter.

The first photo shows Kristinn Ingi’s superjeep set against the iconic Urðartindur in Norðurfjörður. The next three frame the Jetstream 31 coming in to land at the snowy strip at Gjögur, on the edge of Reykjarfjörður.
